"It's done by design. You either have to un-check the button on the post or just ignore the subscriptions."

Per Island Dog (Stardock) in the galciv thread.  Kinda sucks as a design in my opinion.  However, for some reason on JU, leaving that checkbox checked does not subscribe me to the thread.  I reply a lot, ignore the checkbox, and currently have zero subscriptions.  I have my profile set to not subscribe FWIW.

I replied as above, left the checkbox checked (default), and I'm not subscribed to this thread.

My profile options for autosubscribe is UNticked and if I don't untick the box below, I will be autosubscribed. Daiwa I wish I knew how you're avoiding it, I would sure follow suit. Unfortunately these two fields may not be related.

Weird, innit?

It may be the forum Daiwa is posting from. The forums and the way they interact has always seemed to be a little wonky. I'm testing this now from the elemental forums and leaving it checked. I have been un-checking it for a long time now, hopefully I don't need to do that any longer.

No luck. Still auto-subscribing with it checked - just like you'd think it would do

Ha!

I just replied to another JU post from DrJBHL & it subscribed me!  First time that's happened in a few months.

Like I said: weird, innit?

and damn FRUSTRATING.

and ILLOGICAL.

and inconsistant.

harpo, the ghost NON-subscriber

Meh. If it's working as designed, I can keep unchecking or unsubscribing as before. I thought it was a bug, so...
